The God Virus

Anyway, watching the entirety of the bright city and the different skyscrapers covering it immediately reminded Virus of a particular building called ’Shanghai Tower’ from the history within his head. However, he couldn’t spot it anywhere. So, connecting to the world network of information, he instantly received the relevant information within his head.

’Hmm, currently, there is no ’Shanghai Tower’ at the moment, but its construction will start soon... they just lack the overall funding for constructing it which is about two and a half billion USD.’

Next, gazing at the already completed Jin Mao Tower and Shanghai World Financial Center which were a part of the close group of three supertall skyscrapers with the Shanghai Tower included, he proceeded, ’the Shanghai Tower is going to be the world’s second-tallest building by height to the architectural top for a few years at least. Maybe... I should try purchasing it or at least buy all of its relevant shares by offering a substantial amount of money and funding far above its current worth. Perhaps I should also adjust and modify its design and height too and just turn it into the tallest building on the entire planet... even taller and more spectacular than Burj Khalifa.’

Temporarily snapping out of his contemplation, turning toward Amara, he inquired, "So, Amara, where are we going to be staying in our time in Shanghai?"

As if she had been waiting for this question already, revealing an enticing grin, she started talking, "We’ll be staying at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s Shanghai branch, a five-star luxury hotel. I know the son of this hotel company’s parent organization, so I asked for a favor and he said yes. We’re going to be receiving the best treatment possible there."

"Oh, is that so?" With a small rise in his eyebrows, Virus confirmed before going quiet.

...

Soon, their private jet landed in Shanghai Pudong International Airport as the trio walked out of it in leisure.

Outside, three people in suits and sunglasses were already waiting as they greeted Amara in fluent English with a respectful bow, "Welcome to Shanghai, miss Martin."

"Hehe, xiè xie nǐ (thanks). But there is no need to converse in English since I’m fluent in standard Mandarin Chinese. So, just be yourself." She responded in very fluent Mandarin Chinese.

Then, suddenly remembering something, turning toward Virus, she questioned, "Nǐ huì shuō zhōngwén ma? (Do you speak Chinese?)"

And in response to that, wearing a very amused grin, in the most fluent accent which was probably even more native than the native itself, Virus answered, "Wǒ de zhōngwén shuō dé bǐ nǐ hǎo. (I speak Chinese better than you.)"

"Woah! That accent’s really better than mine! Hehe..." Giggling in return, Amara could only admit he was indeed better. Of course, she was still talking in Mandarin since from now on, all three of them were going to speak in Mandarin until they leave the country.

Next, the three bodyguards walked in front of them by themselves as they received their baggage and pulled them away to one of the luxurious cars parked beside the jet.

...

Sometime later, their high-end vehicle stopped at the heart of Pudong’s financial district in front of their hotel.

After getting off their cars, Amara declared, "Follow me." Then, with the three bodyguards following together with their luggage, the trio sauntered into the hotel in a leisurely manner.

Then, walking in front of the reception, Amara directly introduced herself, "Hello there. This is Amara Martin, have you been notified about our arrival?"

Catching this abrupt introduction, the female receptionist’s eyes started to glow in a strange light as she confirmed professionally, "Oh! Yes, yes! Hello, miss Martin! Welcome to Mandarin Oriental! We are already informed and we’re already prepared to provide you with the best level of leisure and luxury... so, welcome!"

"Good! Then... we need... hmm." Going silent at this point, turning toward Virus, she inquired, "How many suites should I request for?"

"About that..." Hearing this, he at first wanted to say ’two’ suites, one for Amara and one for Bella and him together. But thinking further on the matter, he recalled how the golden beauty seemed to care about her privacy a lot nowadays, especially from the time she had entered her physical body. Thus, changing his mind, he said, "Three suites. One for each of us. But all three of them should be side by side."

Nodding her head in agreement, turning around, she ordered, "We want three of your best and most luxurious Presidential Suites which are built exactly side by side. Oh, the outside view should also be top-notch."

"This..." in return to this, however, feeling helpless, the receptionist could only say, "I’m really sorry, miss Martin, but we don’t have three Presidential Suites built side by side according to your special criteria... but we do have two Presidential Suites beside one another... they also happen to be the absolute best ones in our hotel."

Nodding her head in understanding, looking at the golden beauty, she asked, "How about this... if it’s okay with you... we will live in one of the suites together while Aizen will live in the other one by himself."

Without needing to think at all, the golden beauty responded casually, "Sure, fine by me."

"Great! Then we’ll do that." Having reached a final decision, she started talking to the clerk once again.

However, meanwhile, a few meters away from the spot they were standing on, a commotion was raised.

Currently, while demanding with a deep frown, a handsome native man was pulling the hand of a bewitching Chinese beauty-queen who was wearing the unique uniform of this specific hotel, "Hu Yuexin! Why don’t you just become my woman! You know you need me!"

Nevertheless, not listening to his words at all, the woman struggled as she freed her hand before vocalizing in a rather low tone, "Fan Tong! I told you to not bother me at my work! Please... just leave, they’ll fire me if you continue doing this."

Meanwhile, looking at this Chinese top-notch belle which was probably even more beautiful than the prettiest Chinese actress herself, Virus wondered, ’Hmm, interesting.’ And with that, he continuing watching the scene.
